Ayer domingo terminó el Mundial de balonmano que se celebraba desde hace dos semanas en Suecia. Francia levantó la copa de campeón y la selección española consiguió un gran resultado imponiendose en la final de consolación ante el anfitrión.

Aquí tenéis una edición con algunas imágenes de lo que ha sido este Mundial de 2011.
